Localism

I am writing today to ask that you oppose all attempts to bring back the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” including “Localism” which is a Fairness Doctrine by other means. Localism would create a big brother watch dog that would monitor local radio station content and chill free speech.

These local regulatory boards would become politicized by professional activists who would attempt to dictate content. Any attempt by government to impede free speech is unconstitutional. The 1st Amendment is clearly violated if Congress passes any law that abridges freedom of speech or the press.
The public’s interest is best served when market forces, not government bureaucrats, determine local radio station content.
